  lived nodes, recycled by reusing the very same ids.

  but different ids.

  (-n, --nonexclusive) command line options.

0.5.0  2023-07-16  Yet another summer'23 release.

  an old undefined behavior to positioning and Patchbay persistence
  of multiple nodes with the very same and exact name.
- Fixed the main PipeWire registry thread-safety, into a two-level
  critical section, hopefully preventing the race-conditions that
  are the suspected cause to some rare crashes.

  ports, adding the suffix "[Monitor]" and/or "[Control]" resp. to
